Noble Fir, also called Red Fir, is most likely found in areas that appear as understory or forest. A tree and a member of the Pinaceae Family.   Noble Firs were once occasionally found here; but with global warming, their range is spreading to the north. Seen often at Christmas Tree farms, this symmetrical tree has short, stiff, and beautifully spreading branches. Young specimens are found by Kiosk 3.  Pilchuck Learning Center’s sponsored Western Washington State University SAM Project extinction possibility is slight; abundant, native to Cascadia.
